296 VS

I would never consider them in the past, but maybe this time? Depends on the rest of the spec. If my stripe uses some white, could be an interesting way to tie it all in.

 

I want to know how much the carbon wheels weigh vs the new forged ones.

 

Appears to be from the dealer version. Oddly, the dealer configurator, the public one, and the Atelier/TM ones are all different colors/options/trims.

 

They are honestly to a point where they’re too fast lol. Incredible that all you need is some money and you can get your hands on something this fast

 

I will keep it simple, rosso imola with perhaps a grey stripe, ni number. No atelier, non tailor made, produce and deliver ...

 

love to see a render of that....

 

is rosso supercar a color available for the Speclale?

 

No I doubt that any other model will get the F80 Rosso shade to start. They did the same restrictions for Grigio GTS also. Verde Jewel was yet another restricted paint color. Even Blu Corsa was restricted but down the road you may have a better chance of getting that new Rosso.

 

Interesting enough we just traded our 24 RR sport. Paid 97k got back 82k after 13 months and 5700 miles. Not bad at all.

 

When will the configurator for the this car be up in US dealers? Anyone?

 

Tried on XX - no luck, told one year.
Assume one year from debut, by the time dealer actually enters allocation you may get it for VS, - 46k,

 

Thanks for the intel fellas....46k+painted shields....egad.

 

Do folks that heard the clip that was posted prior to launch in the app, remember how violent the up shifts sounded? I came across the following info in the app that i think explains what we heard and if i understand this correctly, will give us the punch during upshifts that among other things, will make this car feel visceral and raw compared to the base model...hope i'm interpreting the below right.

"Gear changes, for instance, are not only faster than the 296 GTB, they also engage with a brief torque-cut immediately following the shift, for a more direct feeling of engagement."

 

My dealer gave me similar numbers; it was more like 1:6

 

any updated info about total hypothetical production? Have you asked your dealer how many Pistas they were allocated vs 296S?
IIRC when this was discussed a couple weeks ago the believe was that there will be 15% fewer vs Pistas.

 

My dealer said one less aperta, one more coupe, than pistas.

 

I heard the allocations are similar to pista. However, when i see 1:5 or 1:6 ratios i'm very skeptical. Lets just say they are building 3000 coupes (to be clear i have no basis for this) that equates to 500-600 apertas - If that's the case then make it limited numbers like they did with the 458 Speciale-A. Even bump it up to 5000 coupes. it still translates to very low volume Apertas based on these ratios. It would be helpful to hear the ratios for Pistas to be able to understand this better. I'm skeptical of the 1:5 or 1:6 ratios but will be the first one to admit that i am wrong. the logic is what i'm struggling with.

 

do you know what their allocation ratio was b/w the pista coupe vs spider?

 

I'll ask. I think they're getting 5 or 6 Apertas. I only guess this because 4 people are getting F80s (not me), and I'm assuming this car as well.

 

It's up. My SA sent me some pics of configs he was playing with.

 

1350 A / 3200 coupes est 4500
There are new dealership franchises that opened after Pista production.

 

From what I can find, luggage compartment capacity is now 169 litres versus 201 l in the GTB.

I am 1,93 meters tall (6.3 ft); does some recall if you can move the seat more back in the GTB versus the GTS?. As I can also read that the Rear bench capacity is 112 l in the Speciale coupe and GTB, versus 49 l in the GTS

(I guess there is a typo in the Ferrari web as they are quoting same Rear bench capacity for the Speciale and Speciale A)

In my 296 GTS with comfy seats I barely fit as my head touches the roof, I guess in the Speciale coupe with buckets I will fit much better

 

This depends on how well your dealer did in terms of sales, I believe; my dealer had 14 Pista Spiders (initially they said there would be 12), now they say they will have 18 Speciale A..Let’s see how many they will end up receiving.

 

Indeed this is true. There are a number of factors including dealer volume that may have changed since Pista allocations were set some seven years ago. Including, a number of new dealerships being added.

 

It is becoming increasingly clear that the numbers will be very similar to the 488 Pista.
1500 Spiders and 3500 Coupés, the thing is that Ferrari now has many more customers than in the days of the 488 Pista and therefore fewer people will simply get a 296 Speciale and Speciale A
